Normally after enough time I can figure everything out but I'm at a loss here. I moved my Debian server to another room so can't use eth0 to router anymore. Very sick of Windows ICS to this computer. Bought a usb wireless adapter and can not get it working. I think I'm having trouble loading the module. wiki.debian.org/WIFI doesn't get into modules much...
Any suggestions? Please let me know if more info is needed...
